Everyone loves this book but me. Gwyneth Bolton‘s Rivals in Paradise is a highly rated Enemies-To-Lovers tale that I DNF’d at 22%. Cicely and Chase were college rivals jockeying for social position at the same small school. I’m pretty sure that he’s… Read more »

Festive In Death by J.D. Robb
Festive In Death might be it for me and Eve Dallas. While we’ve had our ups and downs in the prior 38 books of the series I just don’t like Eve anymore. I’ve had it with her. About halfway through this… Read more »
True Spies by Shana Galen
True Spies is my second attempt at Shana Galen’s recent series. I need to give up. Galen was once a reliable read for me but the new direction is incompatible with my tastes. True Spies starts off strong, combining a faltering… Read more »
The Collector by Nora Roberts
I feel like a DNF machine lately. After mentioning my issues with this book on Twitter several people @ replied me with a decided lack of enthusiasm. Nora Roberts’ The Collector is not a hit and so say we all. Or… Read more »
They Say Love Is Blind by Pepper Pace
I’ve spoken at length here about disability issues and I’ve reviewed a number of romances that featured disabled characters. What I haven’t done much of, though, is read or review romances with disabled characters who aren’t white. Disability-themed books are… Read more »
Three Weeks With Lady X by Eloisa James
Three Weeks With Lady X was not only a DNF read for me, but a Kill It With Fire experience. Yes, James and I have been in the process of a very difficult breakup, and yes, I wish I had… Read more »
Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris
What happens when a roller coaster author stops delivering that giddy can’t-believe-you’re-still-reading thrill? A DNF at page 123. I generally tear through a Charlaine Harris book in a few hours, reaching the end with the same unsettled feeling I get after inadvertently eating… Read more »
Seduction’s Canvas by K.M. Jackson
I’m giving up on K.M. Jackson books for now. Two DNF reviews in a row feels less like reviewing and more like piling on. I picked up Seduction’s Canvas because it’s in the third person. Jackson’s Bounce has a lot of strong reviews,… Read more »
When The Marquess Met His Match by Laura Lee Guhrke
This is a DNF review. I’ve been trying but I never get more than three chapters into When The Marquess Met His Match. Mostly because I dislike both of the leads. The set up is that Lady Belinda Featherstone’s father… Read more »
Breaking All The Rules by Rhonda McKnight
This was a DNF by the end of the sample. I’m going to lay out my objections with the caveat that the premise itself was pretty much a deal breaker for me. Breaking all The Rules pushed a ton of… Read more »
